No. Thank God the Chinese virus hasn’t affected me.

I have three friends with coronavirus, two in NYC, one in Michigan.

My brother n law and his wife. They had a rough few days, but are recovering well now.

If this was Spanish Flu 2, you would be dead. It was incredibly lethal to the young, not old.

70-something yo friend. He’s recovering.

Just a reminder for you Susan since you believe I’m the only one calling it what it really is.

It’s a perfect name for it because it puts the blame where it belongs. The lying Communist Chinese government.

Yes my like 75 y/o aunt got it.


Didn't die somehow. Even though I was told this was Spanish flu 2.0

I prefer not to use the language the Communist Chinese government wants us to use. You’re free to be a Communist propaganda tool if you wish.

I don’t think so, but I’m out of touch with a lot of people.

My friend in NY.
Who caught it taking care of his mom who was told by the ambulance driver she was t sick enough to take to the hospital (where she would have been tested, and eventually treated).
Now he’s given it to his wife. After showing symptoms for over a week, (and long term exposure to a person who eventually tested positive) he finally got tested.
By the time the results come back, he’ll either have survived and be donating plasma, or he’ll be a statistic. No opportunity to get treatment. (I suppose if HCQ were a Democrat-sponsored drug he’d have it already)
NY has it all ass backwards! No wonder they are the epicenter of the plague.

Still just two family members. I don’t know how I don’t know anyone in MA yet. I’ve had a low grade fever for a few days but otherwise feel fine. Makes me wonder if I’m overall asymptomatic.

My cousin in the Navy deployed by Guam.

No reason to forgive anything. This virus came from Wuhan China so it’s the Chinese virus. That is a fact.

No

I’m sorry to hear that

I am a member of a church with 4000 members and a gun club with 1000 members. Not one person out of the 5000 has Covid 19

So you don’t want to use the real name. You’re free to be ignorant.

Thanks but there’s no reason to forgive anyone for stating facts.

A friends mom.

You must be young and invincible.

Radon-per the CDC, about 35.5 million people got the flu during the 2018-19 flu season. An estimated 34,200 people died because of the flu, or approximately 1 death for every 1,038 cases. www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2018-2019.html
As of the most recent update, there have been 554,849 COVID-19 cases and 21.942 deaths, or 1 death for every 25.3 cases. www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html
Even if we assume the death rate will taper off, a death rate just under 4% for a virus where we lack a vaccine isn’t a laughing matter. It’s true COVID-19 isn’t killing people at the rate of the Spanish Flu epidemic. That doesn’t make this a non-issue.

Answered "No", because it’s outside the specific scope of the poll. I do have a friend whose daughter is an ER Nurse, and contracted the COVID-19. She is currently in the hospital, and has a husband and two small children. I dearly love our front line people, and the only way they 'hear' that is by doing what they ask.

I heard yesterday that a friend’s boyfriend of 35 years just died of it. He was stuck in Italy.

I apologize. It’s just that the focus of your attack was on only me.

Thank goodness it has a real name too!!!

A friend of my wife
And a co-worker of my wife
Luckily she hasn’t worked in almost 4 weeks now

It is noticeable that every time someone asks this question.. There are More COVID cases

Friends son

Sure does.

Yes, my mom, my aunt, and a close friend.

I'm so sorry

You were actually replying to borny. Your comments had nothing to do with the fact that the Chinese virus hasn’t affected me.

You just piled on while ignoring the fact that this virus came from China which the Communists lied about their numbers to the WHO and made Chinese whistleblowers and journalists disappear. Like Dr. Li Wenliang. I see no reason to protect the evil Communist Chinese government.

Not yet

Thanks, you’re right, I was careless in how I worded that. You’re correct that I was addressing borny, although I knew I was “talking” to you too, since you’re part of this thred.

You can call it whatever you want, of course. But that doesn’t mean that you’re using a good name for it, especially in historical context.

Yes, just got a phone call Saturday morning from my cousin. My aunt and uncle were hospitalized with the virus and my uncle didn’t make it.

Your church has 4000 members?

Cholera? TB? Rabies?

Names for them?

Yes and I still think we need to go back to work and let the chips fall where they may.

Yes nothing like using the actual facts to be a communist! You’re funny!

No worries you’re forgiven!

Fortunately not anyone I know personally, but my dad’s boss had it (and recovered), and also a friend of a friend has it.

Isn’t your brother-in-law‘s wife your sister?

I'm talking about numbers. I was promised a pandemic apocalypse but only got a destroyed economy.

It’s not over yet.

Yes you’re forgiven for your poor understanding!
